    Those 10 people’s collective take is $52,000+. How does that lead to the billions that EDD lost? Where are the ones that took millions? Hope federal investigators dig deep into this.

      I can see if one had control over who got what that they funneld funds to certain cards and made sure others got none at time. so as they say fraudsters find ways to score bank as if they need it and others get none cause froze to sort the problem any. so many bad apples ruin it for the bunch.,

    And... California doesn't learn and now the gas rebate will be issued on debit card as well. It's cheaper and safer just to mail checks and let people deposit them to their desired bank accounts...or just do direct deposits.

      @@monkeyking-self-proclaimed7050 Statistically speaking, it's not true that "many" checks are stolen in the mail. Also, a check require you to deposit into an traceable account, in a bank or via a modern ATM that captures one's image and biometric - it's much more traceable than a stolen card used online or via some corner store ATM. Obviously, the best approach is direct deposit the fund, it's fast, efficient and most environmentally friendly.

    Duh! It was obvious from Day One that the majority of fraud was coming from the contracted customer service reps. So obvious!!! They were minimum wage workers horrible at their job. Those people had open access to what cards were getting funded with thousands of dollars in back pay and had a head start to withdrawal as soon as the debit card was funded. That level of fraud is coming from inside the house. EDD is the worst agency in California and needs a complete overhaul top down.

    When I used CA EDD I found it would be easy to commit fraud. EDD nor BofA know the product and how it works. It took me a month to get my EDD and then a week to get my card to work. Everyone from EDD to BofA kept passing me around. Finally, I sat and read all materials I could find. And figured it out.

    For example, students get a free computer to take home, but parents never paid a deposit nor did the school district pay a deposit for each computer on loan or given away. The school district also didn't pay for the computers...so somehow money laundering happens easily. A welfare recipient receives 200$ a month to make ends meet and Family & Children then turn around and spend 2K per foster child in or out of care. A hospital for every patient admitted gives a child a Game Console that is priced at 1K or 500K and the hospital is not paying for it but pretends Toys R US will write it off so Japanese Citizens starve out by not collecting a full retail fee or the local area. Non debit cards ie credit cards have an interest rate of 20% or 25% or 15%. Lets say nothing over 3% interest rate may be legal. How so, if I take .05 cents from each week on any balance and then multiply that by 10 million per month...one month generated 500M, million dollars...because 10 million people had a balance for that particular month...regardless of the balance....so baking dollars or rather proofing dollars is illegal beyond 3%. Lets say the bank is charging 15% interest rate and the majority of cards fall in that category for any given balance, that month the bank collected 1.5 M, million dollars in one given month. So, after 12 months, the bank collected 15M, million dollars just because 10 million people had a balance on their card regardless of the amount borrowed. Now supposed its all based on your balance..haha...I wont dare, it may be well over 500M, million dollars per year to act as Banking Sharks...now there are Lemon Laws that too target Shark Loaners and Shark Interest Rates...haha Why does everyone ignore them..including this so called investigator that has nothing better to do except pick on unemployment recipients.
